"I told them to show up for the next two periods or we'd be pulling the bus into our rink when we got home and going for a bit of a skate," said Boughner.

Hall responded by scoring twice in the second and adding three assists as part of a four-goal third period for the Spitfires, who outshot Kingston 31-13 over the final two periods.

"Basically (Boughner) just said one thing: that if we didn't pick it up, we'd be skating (until) midnight when we got home," said Hall, a native of Kingston, Ont. "That did it - we got motivated in a hurry."

Boughner praised Hall's response to the challenge.

"Taylor's such an explosive player," said Boughner. "It was nice to see him have a great game in his hometown and before family and friends."

Hall has 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) so far this season and trails OHL scoring leader Tyler Seguin of the Plymouth Whalers by one point. Both Hall and Seguin are expected to be top-five selections in the 2010 NHL entry draft.

Michael Fine, Steven Broek and Derek Froats scored for the Frontenacs (4-4-0-0), who have lost two in a row. Kingston's Michael Farrell was held without a point for only the second time in eight games.

"We let down in the third period and that's partly on me," said Frontenacs veteran Nathan Moon.

"Bottom line is we have to get back to basics and learn how to win these games."

Captain Jeff Hayes and defenceman Tony DeHart each had a goal and an assist to lead Oshawa (2-2-0-0), while Christian Thomas had a pair of assists. Andy Andreoff and Boone Jenner also scored.

Cody Lindsay scored twice for the 67's (2-3-1-1), who came from behind to tie the game on four separate occasions. Dalton Smith and Ryan Martindale, with 1:23 remaining in regulation, scored the other Ottawa goals.
